Or, you could make an air line yourself. We grabbed to of our unopened compressors, a handful of fitting, some teflon tape, pneumatic tubing, a manual valve, a couple 20 amp breakers, Anderson, six (eight?) slot ATC panel, and threw them on some plywood. Mix, stir and viola! A ghetto electronics cleaner. Works pretty well too... unless someone doesn't watch the pressure gauge and it blows up... nobody's done that YET, and hopefully no one will.
